Actually the world isn't warming. Now there is cooling. Seas are falling and ice is spreading. There are fewer cyclones, it is still raining (in Australia) and it's been much hotter. See the evidence for yourself.

Anti-denaliest Resources

If you're looking for a chance to educate yourself on climate change, get started on greening your own life (with all the normal caveats that lifestyle changes are nowhere near enough) or have facts and figures at hand to win your next argument with a denialist, you've got some tricky choices ahead of you. After all, the web has never been more overrun with climate "resources" and "guides," and most of them are lame -- some are downright inaccurate or misleading. (quote from the author, not me )

Here is a quick survey of some interesting and useful links:

Chris my dear. Take a look at the various graphs. They are all clearly labeled as to the source. All of the sources are recognized as reliable. You try to elevate nit-picking into a an argument.
You try so hard and all you can ever come up with when presented with fact and reality is that same tired junk you posted above.

you forgot about them being cherry picked and distorted too LMAO.

People that care can do a search on temprature records, sea ice extent records, and sea level records to see that your data are countered by the VAST MAJORITY of the data - you cherry pick the one or few data sets (manipulated) that fit your dogma, Judy my dear, but ignore EVERYTHING ELSE - ignoting the counter information just is silly when anyone can see your deception with a couple of clicks of the mouse LMAO!!!!!!!

Now we get to the crux of the matter.

The graphs are all current from reliable, perfectly acceptable sources.

Chris just doesn't like what they say.

SO WHO'S IN DENIAL NOW?

so EVERY data set that shows a consistant long-term warming trend is facked and a lie???? Who indeed is in denial???? THAT is the cruxt of the matter. I freely admit that there is counter arguments - and that is why I stick with the 90% chance that human caused climate change is NOT REAL. You give the possibility that YOU ARE WRONG absolutely NO CHANCE - ignoring EVERYTHING that supports human caused climate change - who is in denial indeed LMAO!!!!!!!
